Did you hear that BIG squeal I let out?! That was me! I could not wait to share this Happy Birthday Shaker Card with you! I don't know what it is about shaker cards, but they make me happy. It's probably because they remind me of snow globes, and I LOVE snow globes!

A couple of weeks ago, Nicole made one cute shaker card after another, and I wanted a piece of the action. So I grabbed some of my go-to colors--Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush--some designer series paper, stamps, dies and a punch, and went to work.

The focal point of this card is that adorable banner shaker. First, I double die cut the top banner piece from a black and white striped piece of Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack.Second, I used some contraband, I mean some non-Stampin' Up! clear foam adhesive to make my shaker. LOL! I used KOOL TAK Clear Foam Roll Tape. It's like working with a sticky gummy worm, but it's just what the doctor ordered.

Inside my shaker, I filled it to the brim with some hearts punched from Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush cardstock using the Hearts Border Punch and also added some 2013-2015 In Color Sequin. Because the sequins and punched shapes stick to the sides of the foam adhesive, you have to really fill it.

I added my sentiment by using a die cut "happy" from the Hello You Thinlits Dies and stamped "birthday" from the Crazy About You Stamp Set. The die cut sentiment was adhered with just a few dots of true clear wet glue (more contraband)...Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue.

I finished my card off with an adorable bow using the Bow Builder Punch. Love that punch!

This was such a fun card to make! I hope that I have encouraged you to give shaker cards a try. You will find all of the Stampin' Up! products I used to create this card below. My Online Store is open 24/7! Click any of the links below to go right to that item.
